Project Description

The D-upskill.50 project aims at supporting adult educators and trainers in acquiring and developing digital pedagogic skills and competences required for a successful digital transformation process in teaching and learning. This project will work to integrate technologies in the classroom and help educators orchestrating and managing this digital change, proving them with practical digital tools and resources which will, on the one hand, help them identify their current level of digital performance (digital pedagogies gaps, growth potential and areas of action), and on the other, support their digital teaching practice and professional development. Concretely, the project will design and develop a self-assessment tool that will help educators identify their current level if digital performance, identify their digital pedagogies gaps, their growth potential and areas of action. This tool will be accompanied by electronic guides to support the acquisition and/or development process of digital pedagogic competences and skills, equipped with interactive figures, electronic instructions, repository of useful resources, tips and tricks to make their teaching more engaging for learners and digital learning nuggets to support their learning process.
